I'm hoping to cross over into the posting stratosphere this week. So, if I post or respond with some lame comments, it's only because I'm trying to pad my post count. Please bear with me. But, if I dont make it to 20K Saturday, I would like to remind everyone ahead of time that texas sucks. And as my old high school buddy iasooner1 said, "Texas's suckage is legendary and eternal." That is all. ;)

I'm on board with giving the manager's job to Snitker. He's done an outstanding job, especially since the All-Star break. The trade for Kemp was huge, Swanson has played very well and they won the five last series in a row and knocked a decent Detroit Tigers squad out of the Wild Card running in the AL. I say he deserves the chance.

Make sure and pass the 20k mark in the OU/TX game thread on Saturday while OU is giving them a royal *** kicking!!! No better way to pass 20k in my opinion. :cool:

I agree. He deserves the chance to manage games that actually mean something because he's proven he can play the role of a spoiler pretty well.

Other than being mauled by the Nats, Atlanta carved out a winning record against everyone else in an admittedly weak division. Swanson, Inciarte, and Freeman are a solid nucleus around which the team can build. The "elephant in the room" is the starting pitching. We have a #1 (Teheran) who'd be a two or three on a contending staff and a couple of other guys who are wildly inconsistent in Folty and Wisler. Until the Braves fill some holes in the starting rotation, any chance of being a legit contender are still pretty far fetched IMO.
